Located on the outskirts of the picturesque town of Sintra in Portugal, the National Palace of Pena is an extraordinary sight to behold. Constructed in the mid-19th century, this magnificent structure is a now popular destination for tourists to visit and inspire their imaginations. Blending both Romanesque and equally exotic architectural styles together, the building exudes grandeur and opulence with its intricate towers and dramatic facades. Meanwhile, its captivating park complete with lush gardens, woodland areas and exquisite pathways presents even more enchantment for those who come exploring. What's more, visitors to the National Palace of Pena are treated to the stunning view from the top of the palace – the perfect final flourish to a truly unique experience.
